Open Government

Building public
confidence in the impartiality of government decision making is at the core of
OGE’s mission. In support of the President’s commitment to the principle of an
open government, OGE directs resources toward raising the visibility of OGE and
the systems in place to identify and resolve conflicts of interest. OGE also
directs resources toward making ethics documents publicly available. Transparency
increases accountability and public confidence by providing information to the
public about the work of government and the integrity of its decision-making
processes. To learn more about how OGE is incorporating the principles of open
government, read OGE’s Open Government Plan.

As part of OGE’s commitment to the
principle of transparency in government, OGE provides the information listed

the agency’s work is available throughout the website, including information
